[CWN-Summit] Possible grants for new leadership

[Harold Feld]

I can think of many leaders in the community wireless movement deserving of 
this support.

Each year, Leadership for a Changing World recognizes 17-20 leaders and
leadership groups not broadly known beyond their immediate community or
field. Nominated community leaders may work in a variety of fields including
youth development, arts and social action, and access to media (including
new technologies). Selected leaders will receive awards of $100,000 to
advance their work, plus $15,000 for learning activities. Leadership for a
Changing World is a program of the Ford Foundation, in partnership with
Advocacy Institute and New York University. Deadline: January 7, 2005. For

The Academy for Educational Development has announced its next competition
for 15 grant awards to support nonprofits and promising new leaders
committed to social justice. Averaging $100,000 each, the two-year grants
offer support for salary, fringe benefits, financial assistance, leadership
training, mentoring, and professional development. Sponsored fields of work
include international human rights, HIV/AIDS, migrant and refugee rights,
racial justice, reproductive rights, and women's rights. The deadline to
apply is January 10, 2005. For more information visit:
